Olivia J Charters has got a new boat and its crew is inviting you aboard to have a fishing trip in Texas you won't forget! Captain Rodney Chapman takes you nearshore, offshore, to reefs, and to wrecks, starting out of Freeport. Join him for a fun-packed trip and make some lovely memories on the water!

Captain Rodney uses a restored 33' World Cat TE catamaran powered by 2 brand-new 300 HP Suzuki engines. This vessel is set up for bluewater deep sea trips and is federally permitted. It uses all the modern navigation electronics and features a Full marine Toilet, an ice-box, and a livewell. You'll also have a first mate at your disposal in case you need any help during the trip.

As the boat is federally permitted, you and the crew are able to travel beyond the 9-mile state water line and go after various Snapper types, Yellowfin and Blackfin Tuna, Amberjack, Grouper, and many more. To reel in your catch, you can bottom, deep sea, and drift fish as well as troll and jig. You choose if you'll keep the fish you catch and take it home. Hard alcohol isn't allowed on board but you're welcome to bring beer. Fuel is included in the price.

Before you depart, bring your licenses, snacks, and drinks. Captain Rodney will provide everything else needed for a great day on the water.

Best Trip so far!!!
5 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM) on July 18, 20264 adults

Our half-day fishing trip with Olivia J Charters was absolutely outstanding! We had a group of four men, and there was more than enough room on the boat for everyone to fish comfortably. Captain Rodney is the GOAT!! He knew exactly where to put us on the fish, and thanks to his experience, we limited out on Red Snapper! We caught so many 14-inch snapper that by the end of the trip, we could tell whether a fish was a keeper before it even made it into the boat!!! What impressed us the most was Captain Rodney’s professionalism and commitment to safety. He made sure everyone was comfortable, informed, and safe throughout the trip while still making sure we had an incredible time on the water. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable captain, a great fishing experience, and a charter that delivers results, Olivia J Charters is the way to go!! We highly recommend them and can’t wait till next year!!

Captain and crew went all out to ensure success!
5 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM) on September 6, 20254 adults

The captain and his supporting crew member went out of their way to make sure we were going to catch fish. They were aware of conditions and areas that had not recently been successful and steered the boat towards making an extra effort to take us to spots that produced results. We caught our allowed state limit and had a great fish grilled dinner back at home that day!
